Wayne McGregor’s DEEPSTARIA Comes to Sadler's Wells
Performances run from Thursday 27 February – Sunday 2 March.
Wayne McGregor’s Deepstaria, performed by Company Wayne McGregor, will make its anticipated UK premiere at Sadler’s Wells Theatre from Thursday 27 February – Sunday 2 March.
In Deepstaria – a title inspired by an enigmatic species of jellyfish with a stellar-sounding name – McGregor conjures a highly sensory, meditative pure dance and sound experience which reflects on our profound relationship with the void and our own mortality. Since the beginning of time humankind has had a fascination with the void. From deep sea to deep space, these dark, mysterious zones ignite both our imagination and our desire to explore our world to its limits. Utilising Vantablack Vision® technology on stage to create unfathomable darkness, McGregor visions an environment that disturbs traditional hierarchies of perception. In this void, acoustic imagery and animative music by Oscar-winning sound designer Nicolas Becker and renowned music producer LEXX create a sonic dreamscape that is continuously recomposed and performed by revolutionary digital audio engine Bronze AI* – thus re-configuring the relationship between live dance and live recorded music in real time.
Like the jellyfish with its capacity for regeneration, Deepstaria invites us to dream anew our immortal connection with the universe that holds us.
Deepstaria is conceived as the first work in a diptych. The second: On the Other Earth (a choreographic installation) will premiere in 2025 in Jeffrey Shaw’s nVis, the world’s first 360 LED interactive post-cinematic screen, utilising its comprehensive instrumentarium of sensing technologies.
Deepstaria arrives at Sadler’s Wells Theatre following its premiere on 22 June 2024 at Montpellier Danse, France. It later embarked on a global tour, beginning at Spoleto Festival in July 2024.
